Occidental Papagayo, on the bluffs above Papagayo Bay
Occidental Papagayo is an adults-only resort on the hillside above Papagayo Bay, north of Playa Hermosa in Guanacaste, about 25 minutes by car from Liberia airport. It suits couples and adult friends who want sea views, a spa and evenings with entertainment, with a very short transfer from the airport.
The buildings step down the bluff toward the water, so many balconies look straight out over the bay to the sunset.
Why we choose it
- Adults only, 18 and over. The pools and restaurants stay calm, which makes it a good fit for couples and honeymooners.
- Close to the airport. About 25 minutes from Liberia, it is one of the easiest first or last nights of a Costa Rica trip.
- Premium Level for more privacy. The Premium Level rooms and suites come with their own lounge, a quieter corner of the resort for those who want it.
Rooms and views
The Deluxe rooms, at 32 square metres, are for 2 adults, and the Deluxe Bay View rooms add the sea. The Premium Level has Luxury rooms and Studios at 32 square metres, Junior Suites at 52 square metres and the Premium Level 1 Bedroom at 64 square metres.
The Premium Level Master Suite, at 78 square metres, has a sea view, and the Premium Level 2 Bedroom unit is the largest at 96 square metres. Accessible rooms are available.
On the property
There are two à la carte restaurants and a buffet, two pools, and the U-Spa with a sauna and hot tub. The gym is open 24/7, Premium Level guests have their own lounge, and the evenings bring entertainment and a disco.
One thing to know: the beach sits below the hillside and has no ramp access, so guests with limited mobility should tell us before we book.
Location and getting there
The resort is north of Playa Hermosa, near Playa Panamá, about 25 minutes by car from Liberia airport. Check-in is at 3:00 pm and check-out at 12:00 noon.
From here we can arrange snorkeling and kayaking on the bay, a catamaran at sunset, or a day at Rincon de la Vieja Volcano.

Your Costa Rican driver waits at arrivals and stops whenever you like on the way: fruit stands, a sloth in a tree, a bathroom.
